Marvel is pleased to announce that the highly-anticipated Daredevil #100
has sold out at Diamond (though
copies may be available at the retail level). Featuring the multiple
Eisner-Award and Harvey-Award
winning creative team of writer Ed Brubaker and artist Michael Lark, in
addition to some of the greatest
artists from Daredevil's history, Daredevil #100 featured an intense
look at the tortured psyche of
Daredevil as he seeks to overcome Mr. Fear and the Enforcers. This
landmark issue has thrilled fans and
critics alike, leading to a quick sell out at Diamond!

"That's great to hear!" exclaimed Brubaker of the sell out. "I knew when
I saw all the artists' pages
coming in that this would be something special. I just hope that if this
is anyone's first issue they'll
stick around to see what's coming next. Mr. Fear just ripped a huge
piece out of Matt Murdock's life,
and what happens next isn't going to be what anyone is expecting."

IGN.Com's Jesse Schedeen deemed the issue a "must read" and gushed, "Ed
Brubaker has the potential to
become the greatest writer in the 40 years of Daredevil comics."

"Daredevil is a must read book month in and month out," exclaimed
Newsarama.Com's Richard Renteria.

With numerous awards and critical buzz for Daredevil, Marvel urges
retailers to check their orders on
upcoming issues of this acclaimed series. Matt Murdock's being pushed to
his edge and if he's not
careful, Daredevil #101 may be the issue where it all might just come
down crashing around him! And in
Daredevil Annual #1, Daredevil is reunited with a face from the
past.Black Tarantula.and it's time to
learn if a man can really change.

Please note that Marvel currently has no plans to go back to press on
Daredevil #100.

Check out this new Spanish DD book written by Eduardo Serradilla
Sanchis!
He was in contact with me, asking about several of the fans who post on
this site... and now, here's the book, and it features DD-related
projects
created by some familiar names who post here. I asked Eduardo to give me
more info on the book, and here it is...

"Daredevil: Demonios y Oscuridad" is a comprehensive book about
Daredevil
(and Elektra) which serves as the definitive guide to the many years of
Daredevil history. Taking in every aspect of the character's career
throughout pop-culture -including but not limited to films, statues, TV
series- the author reviews chronologically all the comics related to
Daredevil, without forgetting special numbers, miniseries and various
projects and he analyzes the four decades of the character in the
meanwhile. This book showcases never-before-seen artwork, a complete
insight of the Daredevil film, interviews with many key figures in
Daredevil's world, including artists Frank Miller, John Romita, Joe
Quesada, and much more!
SC, 7x10, 304pgs, B&W
Price: 16.95 Euro ($23.95)

If you've never seen the variant covers for DD100, I've finally got some
pics for you. The first is by Michael Turner, and the other is by Lee
Bermejo. The regular wraparound cover can be viewed in the PREVIEWS
section of the site.

17/07 - [DD Annual]

If you've checked out today's October solicits, you'll see info on the
Daredevil Annual. What you'll also notice is
that there isn't a Daredevil #102 coming out that month. It's probably a
way to give the Lark/Gaudiano team a much
needed break, but I'll try to get a response from Marvel about it.

The annual is written by Ed Brubaker and Ande Parks, who makes his
return to the pages of DD. It's drawn by Roy Allen
Hernandez.

23/01 - [Omnibus details]

Associate Editor of Collected Editions, Mark Beazley stopped by the
Bendis
Board and gave some details about the extras in the DD omnibus:

We pulled together a ton of extras for this book:

- 16 page interview with Frank Miller and Klaus Janson conducted by
Peter
Sanderson
- The original pencils thumbnails and color guides for all of Daredevil
190
- The Daredevil related entries from the Official Handbook to the Marvel
Universe with art by Frank Miller
- Covers to all the previous reprintings of this material

Hopefully I can get more info about this soon, but Brian Michael Bendis
and David Mack will be co-writing a DD project with 3 legendary artists
(who couldn't be named just yet...)!
This was revealed in tonight's FBR show with David Mack...

Here's something you might be interested in reading, by DD fan Joseph
Armstrong:

No one can last forever. At one time Matt Murdock lived his days as an
attorney and his nights as the sightless scarlet sentry known as
Daredevil, but all that is over now. For the first time ever, see the
world
through the eyes of a blind man as you read journal entries featuring
his
private
thoughts, hopes, and fears starting with the event that changed
everything:
the death of Karen page.

With each new issue starting from the events of The Devil in Cell Block
D,
you'll be treated to the inner thoughts of Murdock like never before.

Back in January 1996, Daredevil was in the midst of the J.M. DeMatteis
run
on the book. The title was still in the "Marvel Edge" imprint. Cary Nord
was just starting his fill-in art which would lead to his work with Karl
Kesel later in the year. And I started this web site.

The site has seen Karl Kesel hand off to Joe Kelly, the Flying Blind
arc,
the Marvel Knights launch, the delays, the movie, the Bendis/Maleev run,
and now Brubaker/Lark. I've had the opportunity to interview several
creators, and I have had the good fortune of being asked to write the
Marvel Knights encyclopedia.

But the site is nothing without its audience, and there are many of you
that I've known for so many years who visit all the time. I appreciate
all
the support this site receives and do not take any of these 11 years for
granted.
